My name is John. I live at 8213 West Summerdale Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois.
I like to dress up as Pogo the Clown to entertain children and I own my own local business. I also like to strangle young men and store bodies under my house.
I was born into an abusive family, and lived a depressing life for a while. I spent a little time in prison for sodomy, but my life turned around when I was let out. I married Carole, and started a contracting business. Unfortunately, I started having mood swings and had to divorce her. I started becoming interested in young boys after that. I began kidnapping, sodomizing, torturing, and strangling young men.
On Friday, December 22, 1978, detectives confronted me with the news that digging was being done under my house. With this, I finally broke down. I admitted to the police that I had killed at least 30 people and that most of their remains were buried beneath the house. The first murder took placed in January 1972 and the second in Jaunary 1974, about a year and a half after I was married. I explained that I lured my victims into being handcuffed and then I would sexually assault them. To muffle their screams, I stuffed a sock or their underwear into their mouths and would often kill them by placing a rope or board against their throats as I raped them. I also admitted to sometimes keeping the corpses under my bed or in my attic for hours or days before burying them in the crawl space.
So that is the exciting story of my life!
